Nightmare Ch.40

Liza P.O.V

February 2 2017

(This chapter is inspired by tanzania2000's book, chapter 8. Anything in italics is in the dream and anything not in italics before Liza wakes up is what she is thinking.)

"Goodnight David." I say and David wraps his arms around me.

"Goodnight babe." He says and I slowly drift off to sleep. A few seconds later, I see myself and David, in my dream, sitting on a couch in a living room I don't recognize.

"Where's Ellie?" I ask looking at David.

I sound annoyed.

"I don't know. Look for her." David says and turns the TV off.

I don't know why, but David sounds very upset with me.

"Look. I'm sorry I left Ellie alone. It was only 2 hours and she's 8. I knew you would be home soon." I say sounding angry.

Why did I think it was a good idea to leave an 8 year old alone?

"She's 8! She could have hurt herself! Or she could have burned the house down! What if someone came to the door?" David yells and stands up.

"But she didn't. If she did it would have been her fault because I told her to stay on this couch until you got home!" I yell and stand up to face him.

Please tell me this won't really happen.

"It wouldn't have been her fault because YOU left her all alone. Did you really expect her to stay on this couch for 2 hours?!" David yells and a little girl quietly comes down the stairs. She sits on the bottom stair holding a stuffed rabbit.

I'm guessing the little girl is Ellie.

"She's fine!" I yell.

"You could have killed our daughter!" He yells and I see Ellie's expression go from afraid to worried quickly.

"She didn't hurt herself and she didn't burn the house down!" I yell and David stands close to me.

"It doesn't matter. She could have done those things! What's the matter with you?" He yells and slaps me. Ellie stands up from the stairs and runs to David.

Please, please, please tell me this won't actually happen!

"Daddy! Don't hit mama! Please!" She yells and David shakes his head.

"Go upstairs, Elianna. Now!" He yells and Ellie shakes her head.

"Don't hit mama! She didn't do anything!" She yells and David looks down at her.

"Go. Now." He says with anger in his voice.

"Don't hit mama! She had to go to work! I stayed on the couch and watched TV until you got home! Don't be mad at her!" She yells and David points to the stairs.

"Go to your room now, Ellianna!" He says and Ellie shakes her head.

"No! Mama didn't do anything wrong! I didn't hurt myself!" She yells and I pick her up.

"Thank you for trying to help but, you can't. Go pack a bag with anything important you need." I say and she hugs my neck.

"Don't let him hit you, mama." She says quietly and I put her down. She slowly walks up the stairs.

"Your not leaving." David says and I shake my head.

"There's no way you can keep me here. I'm not living with an abusive man!" I say and go up the stairs.
